Hmm.... around 100 And yes I pay attention to prices and have watched
them go up and up over the last year.
I stock up when I can find good prices on items that I usually buy
on a regular basis. But, for the most part, I just buy what I need. I
have never really gotten into the "Hey it's on sale...BUT A LOT OF IT"
mentality and I am not a coupon person.

One question: Is it just me, or has anybody else noticed the price of
coffee go though the roof in the last 6-8 months? What I used to buy for
$7 a can now costs $9.37.... a 25% increase and there is supposed to
be a glut amoung coffee producers...

George - Who is sitting on about an 8 month supply of coffee that he got
a $6 a can....
